Im trying to get a custom action to run at active setup. My custom action is a vbs file. install exec sequence - AfterPublishProduct Install Exec Condition - Not Installed Stub path for Active setup in registry it does run but the CA is not executing at active setup. the StubPath Reg key for active setup is - msiexec.exe /fauvs [ProductCode] /qn How can i get this to run the custom action at logon. I think i resolved this now. I used a custom action of Not Installed OR Installed

I have a Feature with one component with 3 or 4 files in it. featuer is called TS for Terminal Server Only want these files in a folder called APPCFG for citrix execution of an application and only want them to install on a terminal server. In IS2009 it was working with: Install Level of 1000 condition: TerminalServer OR RemoteAdminTS in 2010 its getting installed when i install this on a winxp system. I only want this Feature to install on a 2003 or 2008 server. Any ideas? Also, this feature is in my template with the condition so that we dont have to recreate this every time. If its not an app for TSRV we just easily delete the feature. Do i have to declare a property in the property manager first?

Im installing the predeployment web services on the ASES server. i have the ASES working fine. I have predeployment working and im in the: http://10.10.10.10/PreDeploytestservice/SelectApplicationCatalog.aspx webpage. it asks me for my server name for ASES http:somename Then its authentication is ONLY Admin studio server user. I do not know this uers name. I tried a domain acct. i tried the admin@servicer.com account etc. local machine account from the ASES server its installed on and it still fails. I dont want to use the standalone tab as it connect to the same db but isnt what i want. Also where is the Windows Auth Drop down. its not there either. Everything is failing when trying to authenticate the gob server. Can i install both on the same server? I read i would need 3 nic cards. One for ASES one for Predeployment and One for Portal (optional) and not using. Its a Virtual server so can i just bind a static IP to the Nic or do i actually need two Nic cards and when installing I have had to disable the ASES nic to get it to install to the other nic from the last install i tried this. In IIS it shows up as installed under the ASES. In using the Portal last time this is how i was also able to get it not to use a 4th nic that was a 192. address that is firewalled off. SO. Is binding ok or do i need an additional nic setup.

So in this instance i can have one msi launch another msi by using the CA? I thought or experienced once that only 1 msi install can be running at one time. with WInstaller 4.x i think you can do chaining. but want to know if i have created a msi and put the msi as a file in the msi and use a CA to run a deferred action to install it will it still work?

Hey Lost. I have a few of these things as well going on in some of my installs, like using a vb script to create a desktop icon that points to a network location off of the system. Seems the msi cant validate network mappings as the system account. (duh) So. then i had to create a batch file to delete the desktop icon on uninstall. First do you know the syntax for the batch file in the CA if not i can get that for you from some of my projects. (not off top of head and at home bored reading these forums.) Ya Geeky! So if thats the case if you want it to run at uninstall i dont think this needs to be deferred but on install yes it must be run deferred. Will edit tomorrow... syntax systemfolder cmd.exe /c [INSTALLDIR]batchfile.bat.cmd If memory serves me. If you have other systems with different drive mappings like our term servers use t. put a condition on it for terminal servers and not tsremoteadmin i think. i can get these for you to. set one up for c:\ t:\ etc and put conditions on the CA's

I have found why an MSI install doesnt use billboards. You have to create your release as a setup.exe. Info from the 2010 installshield users guide. Important: If your installation includes billboards, your installation must include a Setup.exe setup launcher. The setup launcher is required because it displays the billboards at run time. The Setup.exe tab for a release in the Releases view is where you specify information such as whether you want to use a setup launcher. To learn more, see Setup.exe Tab for a Release. Also ONLY works in setup.exe in the user interface. I tried running setup.exe /s /qb or /qn the Gui and or billboards dont show. I would like to still have the install be silent but show the Billboard on silent installs. Our company must deploy silently and no UI but would like to have the billboard to advertise upcoming events, deployments, policies, contact info etc. Is this something doable for the next release or upgrade? Is there any way of doing this in ISScripting?

Im trying to setup a billboard to test this feature. I have added a large mpg file to allow for a files and transfer to take place. I have added a jpg to the billboards view. When installing im not seeing anywhere in a gui or qb or qn install of the billboard. Can someone point me in the right direction? Do the billboards work on windows installer 3.1 or is this a feature of 4x or greater? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a cert that needs to be installed to . The old way was to use the certmngr.exe with the params. for %%a in (c:\ie6\cert\*.crt) do start /wait c:\ie6\cert\certmgr -add -c %%a -s -r localMachine root So how can i take this and use it to create an ism in IS2010, or 2009? Is there a tool to do this or do i just add the file.cer to project with the certmgr.exe do a deferred exection with a custom action to run the cmd script stated above?

Im stuck again too. So i do see when adding files by the wizard it creates them all as shared. Not a good idea for my project from what i see. It wont hurt anything but just want to do it the right way. Also, when adding files/folders via the wizard i wish to have the wizard create a NEW component for each file or file type. How can I turn this feature on? I know i can do this when repackaging in the options.ini file but how do i do this in the options of Install shield v 9.0.1??
